13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Some good efforts over 5f this year but has met his match in Group races won by Rumstar, Cover Up and American Affair; 66-1 when towards the rear in the Nunthorpe. |

15th 6 (17) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Some good efforts over 5f this year but he has met his match in Group races won by Rumstar, Cover Up and American Affair on his last three starts and has it to prove in this company. |
66/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
6yo who has been campaigned over further for the majority of his career but he's been a progressive sprinter this season, finishing third in a Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good) on July 4 then runner-up in Group 2 at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) last time; however, this tougher race demands more. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Two-time soft-ground winner who won off 3lb higher at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; however, his subsequent form has been mixed and he was beaten a long way at Hamilton (1m, soft) recently. |
16/1 |
|
11th 9 (12) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won narrowly off 1lb higher at Ripon in April to end a spell that improved his strike-rate markedly; has lacked consistency since, however, and failed to show his form in lower grade most recently. |
20/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Likes give underfoot but has won on good ground; on last winning mark (April) and he was closing on the principals in a Class 2 at Ripon late last month; respected in his bid to go one better than 12 months ago. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Only win was in a Thirsk selling handicap in July 2024 when trained by George Boughey; decent C&D third after a break last month, but not so good since. |
9/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Picked up a Thirsk selling handicap (1m, good to firm) in July 2024 on his final start for George Boughey; that remains his only success in 22 starts, however; career-low mark but the percentage call is to look elsewhere. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (7) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Only win came in a selling handicap and beaten in 20 other races; close third last time at Newcastle (7f) but wouldn't be a good thing to back that up. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Short-headed at Carlisle (1m, good) in August and he's also gone close on soft ground in the past; however, he's failed to threaten on his last two outings and this 6yo remains without a win since September 2022. |
12/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Below par returned to Ascot (1m) most recently; still on a three-year losing spell but is very attractively weighted, being 12lb lower than when favourite for this contest 12 months ago (finished third). |
12/1 |
|
10 (1) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered his 2023 third in this when runner-up (under Becky Smith) to Terries Royale in last year's soft-ground renewal; last win came off a 13lb higher mark in September 2022 but he went mighty close at Carlisle (1m, good) one month ago and this has likely been a target; player again despite stall 1 probably not being ideal. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Six-time winner, the latest over C&D in May off 2lb lower; underfoot conditions shouldn't faze him but he does need to rebound from a lesser effort at Chester six weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Only 3lb lower when beating five others at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he was beaten a long way over hurdles last time having bled from the nose. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time AW winner including four at this track (7f/1m2f); has a patchy record this year but he came from the rear to finish runner-up in a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last Tuesday; should get a decent tow into this race and he's respected back on Polytrack. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years; not at very best this summer but he drops into a classified race with apprentice Myla Coppins taking off a useful 7lb; may need more of a test these days. |
11/4 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Good runs on the AW earlier this year but unconvincing since those and has another switch on the headgear front. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came at Galway (7f, yielding to soft) in August 2023 when trained by Dermot Weld; struggled in his first three outings for this yard but shaped more encouragingly at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 88 days ago; had a wind operation two days later and now returns to AW. |
7/1 |
|
10 (6) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; yet to add to his Galway maiden win in summer 2023 and has not threatened on any of three starts for new stable this year (7f-1m); still worth a glance in the betting, though. |
20/1 |
|
10 (7) |
31st May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
1-18 when trained in Ireland and well held in both starts on turf since returning for this yard last month; ran well on the beach at Laytown last September, but still has enough to prove for now. |
25/1 |
